It's been awhile since I have last posted and it's because I've been so busy with school and setting up the new room.

Yet still there is still much to do!
Since my last post I have upgraded to a new tent and lighting system

Now using a 4x8 Apollo Horticulture grow tent
1-400 watt MH Apollo horticulture light with a reflector wing on a dimmable ballast
And
1-Nanolux HPS 1000 watt dimmable fixture running at 600 watts

On a 24 hour light cycle

The reason why is because I sexed the plants that came from seed and ended up pulling out all the males so now I have the females ready to veg out and become mothers they have been transplanted into 1 gal pots from solo cups. once they fill that I will then place them in 7 gals where they will remain the rest of there life span . Also I have switched to 100% coco from nutri plus. Great stuff.

So till then I will run the lights 24/7 until I see them go back into veg then 18/6 schedule

I also do not water by hand anymore

Using a 32 gal trash barrel I have filled it up to 20 gallons of water and made a solution of some nutrients at a PH of 5.9 , earth juice mycos, mammoth P microbes , greenstone A+B , Dutch silicate , cyco uptake Humic -acid , greenstone cali mag , B-1 super thrive , Alaskan kelp/see weed extract and fish food , and Hawaiian bud sugars is in the solution. All from different labels I went this method because some brands have same products at different concentrations with a better price. They are still getting everything they need

Also a foilar of Neem + silicate and B1
it's doing an amazing job I must say no burning

in the barrel I have placed a water pump attached to a hose running to a wand and a circulation pump as well as an o2 stone just to keep things fresh

Venting the room out of the roof through a vent that has already been there during lights on temps are 73-75 F humidity 50-65% will try getting it to 65%

So far everything seems well in order but I do need to see about getting an intake fan for the summer to run cool fresh air in since the conditions will get much hotter but I have time for now.

The old DR90 tent a 3x3 will be my future flowering tent much smaller then a 4x8 but I think this will be ideal since I know this tent and what it takes to have t at the perfect conditions also it is smaller and I'll have more control I will run a SOG method using 1 gal pots vegging for 2 weeks

I will be placing a Nanolux 1000 watt dimmable light fixture in there that I have waiting to be opened till it is time to run that
@750 watts I will have 83 watts /sqft I plan on raising the watts in the last weeks of flower to increase light intensity my guess would be more resin production due to the plants trying to keep themselves from burning . What do you guys think?

So in the mean time it's just all about planning vegging and keeping the current mothers happy till its time for my first perpetual grow
